 hexa (signing key rotation when) | * the traffic is drama-driven | 15:24:30 |
| hexa (signing key rotation when) | so I'd say what you are seeing from last year is that | 15:24:41 |
 toonn | Still, that seems like a *lot* of text. | 15:25:02 |

 leona | one full page load is already over 8 MB (thanks modern internet for that....) | 15:34:38 |
| leona | and then threads with images etc | 15:34:47 |
| toonn | leona: Yeah, so there's a bunch of traffic that isn't actually the text content, no? | 15:35:27 |
| leona | right, and afaik most crawlers don't cache pages nowadays | 15:35:48 |
| leona | like the awful AI crawlers | 15:36:18 |
| toonn | Hmm, are AI crawlers going to bring back lightweight pages 🤔 🥺 : ) | 15:39:32 |
 Jonas Chevalier | Maybe we should put ads on the drama threads? New type of open source funding :) | 17:01:34 |
 Arian | Lmao unskippable 30 seconds | 17:02:21 |
| Jonas Chevalier | Slow mode is actually making you watch some Nespresso commercial :) | 17:02:55 |
| Arian | This is legit the best worst idea ever | 17:03:39 |
| Jonas Chevalier | hehe | 17:04:22 |
 Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | But we need a written policy on who is allowed to advertise, right? Governance y'know... | 17:05:45 |
| Jonas Chevalier | Only the ads allowed on the streaming platforms. 50% VPN providers and War Thunder | 17:08:20 |
| Jonas Chevalier | Actually I was coming here initially to ask if anyone is setting up a mirror of nixpkgs :) I have a feeling we're going to see more GitHub outages in the next 18 months or so:

| Jonas Chevalier | It might be good to think a bit about partial fallback solutions. | 17:13:33 |
